Stability Evaluation for Cut-Off Wall of Daning Reservoir during Operation Period

Abstract:

The stress and deformation of cut-off wall will be changed as the water level cyclical varying during reservoir's operation. Therefore, the prediction is important to the safety and stability of reservoir. In this paper, the seepage characteristics of the highest and the lowest water level condition have been predicted, and the variation of horizontal displacement is discussed under the vehicle load of road and cyclical fluid load. Meanwhile, the displacement distribution and stress state in junction area of the upper wall and the lower wall are obtained. The results show that the Cut-off wall is less affected by the vehicle load of road, and its stress and deformation will gradually stabilize after the second water store-discharge cycle. The upper reinforced concrete wall will tilt towards outside of reservoir, but the deformation is very small at lower plastic concrete wall. The guide wall has a good effect on preventing the upper wall's inclining and improving the lower wall's stress environment. Besides, the maximum principle stress of cut-off wall is too small to course plastic failure.
